Tracking Sugar-Elicited Local Searching Behavior in <em>Drosophila</em> Open
Foraging behavior is essential for the survival of organisms as it enables them to locate and acquire essential food resources. In Drosophila, hunger triggers a distinct search behavior following the consumption of small quantities of a su…

Temporal effects of sugar intake on fly local search and honey bee dance behaviour Open
Honey bees communicate navigational information of profitable food to nestmates via dance, a small scale walking pattern. Hungry flies and honey bee foragers initiate a sugar-elicited local search that involves path integration and show si…

Sugar Intake Elicits Intelligent Searching Behavior in Flies and Honey Bees Open
We present a comparison of the sugar-elicited search behavior in Drosophila melanogaster and Apis mellifera. In both species, intake of sugar-water elicits a complex of searching responses. The most obvious response was an in…

Sugar intake elicits a small-scale search behavior in flies and honey bees that involves capabilities found in large-scale navigation Open
Social insects, particularly bees and ants, show exceptional large-scale navigational skills to find and carry back food to their nests. Honey bees further evolved a symbolic communication to direct nest mates to attractive food sources. T…
